I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner. We need a Tanto-fly! :eek:

Yeah, it sucks that Blade HQ (or anyone) has the exclusive on this model and that it’s not a general release. Spoke to BladeHQ, they have no idea when they’ll get more.

I sure hope that this is true because this is easily one of the best looking Spyderco folders.
I hear you! I'm on a very restrictive budget(loans and cc debt) and I miss sprints all the time. It's getting better though. I just paid off one loan!!!

I love Spyderco but if I’m being honest, this “exclusive” and “limited” stuff is really starting to sour me on the brand.
The only people benefiting from this system is the flippers on eBay & secondary markets.
I’d say a lot of us benefit by getting cool exclusives in new scale colors and steels that we wouldn’t otherwise get. Spyderco can make them because the risk gets put on the dealer/distributor by having to put the money up front. And it obviously benefits Spyderco to sell more knives.Haunted House wrote: ↑Fri Sep 18, 2020 3:17 pmYeah, it sucks that Blade HQ (or anyone) has the exclusive on this model and that it’s not a general release.

I don't understand how/why people could get soured by the brand when they're putting out versions of models we wouldn't be able to get otherwise. They couldn't possibly have all these different versions as regular production items. So we're lucky to get the exclusives & sprints we doWright.88 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 19, 2020 9:15 amI’d say a lot of us benefit by getting cool exclusives in new scale colors and steels that we wouldn’t otherwise get.

I love the exclusives and sprints and say keep them coming. There haven’t been any sprints or exclusives I’ve wanted that I haven’t been able to get if I was determined to be at my computer/phone at release.

This is exactly how I feel. I got to use a cheap Milwaukee knife with a tanto, and while the knife was nothing special, I REALLY liked the tanto for getting stuff done.SubMicron wrote: ↑Sun Sep 20, 2020 9:25 amI've got to say that the PM2 Tanto has found some real utility in my life(...) That Tanto tip sets up the perfect angle to get in between delicate materials in order to separate them(...) For scoring or draw cutting, using the secondary point, it allows me to push instead of just pull. Stop and think about that... there's a sharpened edge on both sides of that secondary tip(...)
A Tanto doesn't have to necessarily be a hard use tactical thing. This is a prescision and utilitarian cutting implement that is exceedingly more useful than I assumed it would be.
I am not sure how well it would translate into that short of a blade, but I will say that a Lil' Native Lightweight tanto would be probably the ultimate work knife for my needs. I want to see a production PM2 tanto, but a Lil' Native could be interesting if it was possible.SubMicron wrote: We need more Spyderco platforms with a Tanto blade, not only the big knives, but especially the Lil Native and the Dragonfly
I was/Am holding out for a satin as well...koenigsegg wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 10:21 amAm I the only one who didn't get the dlc cause I thought satin was coming soon. I asked bhq and they seem to confirm its a thing but wouldn't really confirm it was a thing.
A dlc bird in the hand is worthy two satin birds in the bush. That’s why I bought the DLC even though I might have chosen a satin version given the choice. That said I’d imagine we will see a satin version and some point as well as jade handle M4 versions. All of them will sell out, quickly, so I don’t know why they wouldn’t. It’s probably a matter of production capacity and timing.koenigsegg wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 10:21 amAm I the only one who didn't get the dlc cause I thought satin was coming soon.
